Restricted Trading (BEE)

Velocity Trade is a premier provider of Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) listing and restricted trading services in South Africa.

Since its initial role in supporting MTN’s BEE entity ‘’MTN Zakhele’’ in 2013, Velocity Trade has evolved with the changing nature of the regulatory landscape and the unique challenges presented by large scale restricted trading initiatives in South Africa. As the most actively traded BEE counter with over 121,000 participants, MTN Zakhele required significant planning, infrastructure, trading and contact center resources to ensure a robust and effective service.

In 2016 Velocity Trade began to support Vodafone’s South African subsidiary Vodacom in the listing of their BEE entity ‘’Vodacom Yebu Yethu’’, on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE), with over 88,000 participants.

Velocity Trade is a licensed Financial Service Provider, a Financial Services Board and Strate Approved Nominee and a Strate endorsed transfer secretary.
